Soooooooooo...it's basically an over priced stick from Wish

[@RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77]

Actually if you remember the 16-bit days, making cheap garbage is a true return to form for Mad Catz. It's the TE2 era that was anomalous.

[@AvengerII]

To be fair (OR to REMIND people), when Mad Catz launched their classic Tournament Edition line of joysticks in 2009 to coincide with the arrival of Street Fighter IV, it was discovered that the PlayStation 3 versions of those joysticks had a USB circuit standard that was obsolete and incompatible with most Windows PCs manufactured after a certain date. At the time, I had both a PowerMac (long since retired) and a PC running Windows XP (that PC has been gone for at least 3 years now). No matter what I did, I could NOT get the Mad Catz TE Rd 1/PS3 edition joystick to work on the Windows PC but it worked with the PowerMac (OS 10.4). Unless I wanted to buy a PCI card with the "correct" USB standard to make the TE work, I couldn't use it with the PC. Fastforward 13 years, and those of us who still have those Round 1 TE joysticks (PS3 version; the XBox 360 editions were licensed and had the PROPER USB standard for maximum compatibility), have to either retire the joystick (which is heresy; the Rd 1 TE joystick case has a nice form factor; like the Rd 1 better than the Rd 2 case), remove the original Mad Catz PCB and install a third party PCB (generally a Brooks board or MC Cthulu), or buy a Brooks adapter that WILL enable the original Mad Catz PCB to work with a modern PC and current-era consoles. The adapter is the cheaper, easier solution until the original Mad Catz PCB breaks. The TE PCB's (most generations of Mad Catz product but they were particularly bad in the Rd 1 joysticks made for both PlayStation and XBox) have a reputation for breaking. There are other issues with the early TE joystick cases (Rd 1 and Rd 2; not mod-friendly unless you do some plastic cutting on the inside) but the PCB breakdown is a real thing many people have experienced. It hasn't happened to me but I don't play in tournaments with a ton of other people or lug my joystick controller halfway around the world! Mass-market joysticks aren't built like tanks and they sometimes break despite the best attempts to armor and protect them...

[@seigejet]

@@AvengerII don't remind me about the lack of compatibility, what a pain

[@AvengerII]

@@seigejet The compatibility issues of the Mad Catz TE/Rd 1/PS3 for PC, later PS3 models, and PS4 has been addressed by Brooks. Their system adapters work for the early model Mad Catz joysticks (TE, Brawl) for the PS3. It's a cheaper solution than installing a new PCB although for some people they had to install a new PCB anyway. Mad Catz has never been known for long-lasting reliability. The way some people treat their hardware (they live and act like Homer Simpson or Dave Lister) inevitably leads to damage! Safer to buy new than to buy from people you don't know...!

[@ilocker]

Mad Catz would have been so much better off just re-releasing the TE2+, or cutting the EGO's price by at least $60. I grew up with Mad Catz being kinda notorious for making bad 3rd party controllers. When they started making decent arcade sticks, I had to eat my words. Now it seems like they're returning to form.

[@MrOrgaanic]

they did re-release the te2/te2+ as this crap www.amazon.com/Arcade-PXN-Street-Fighter-Playstation/dp/B07ZK9D9WT/ref=pd_ybh_a_24?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FT0F7NXQ2D5692VY2T45

They do not own the rights to the design anymore hence why it’s being used in random Chinese sticks now.

[@gonzalo2869]

I bought the Gamesir C2 and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made but considering the following: - I don't go to face-to-face tournaments and I feel very comfortable playing fighting games in arcades and online from home - I'm a PC gamer mainly - I want space inside and facilities to modify both the art of the arcade stick and change the lever and buttons - It doesn't bother me to go to my friend's house very occasionally who has a PS4 and have to connect a dualshock in parallel to play with it. If all these conditions are met, l say that the Gamesir C2 is fully recommended, in addition to also seeing it at a discount. The Arcade Stick has a premium feel, feels heavy and the internals are Sanwa as far as I can tell and with a lor space inside. However, as this KZbinr says, do not buy the Madcatz since it is exactly the same control and just because it is Madcatz it is much more expensive. Im happy with this stick so far.

[@Ishikawa-Goemon]

I ordered a Gamesir C2, because I play on PC and it seems a really good option (especially because it has Sanwa parts). I have to wait until next week when it will arrive...

[@Nightscape_]

Thanks for the public awareness! I have been out of the fight game scene for over a decade and had no idea about the bankruptcy. I'll make sure to steer clear of anything labeled Mad Catz when buying a new stick.

[@baTonkaTruck]

Good video. Gotta share my story though, this is wild. I have a Nintendo Switch, and this thing is supposed to work natively. NOTHING in the instructions, or the MC website, mention the Switch even fuckin once, but says NSW is supported on Amazon. So I tried for HOURS to sync this thing, even bought a NS pro controller and tried following the XB/PS4 instructions, different sync modes with that press-and-hold horseshit, different power-on-plug-in combinations. Nothing, wouldn’t recognize at all. Then, about halfway through some random rambling YT video abt this controller, the guy casually mentions “Oh yeah, if you want to sync this to your switch: 1. Make sure you Power off your Switch first 2. THEN plug the controller into dock USB port 3. Hold the A and X buttons on the EGO 4. THEN Power on the Switch 5. Keep holding A and X for at least 2 seconds once your Switch comes up 6. Then your controller should be recognized And that worked. I mean WHAT in the LIVING FUCK is that, and WHY in the CHRIST would that not be in the fucking instructions, or really ANYWHERE on the internet. I mean that’s some serious Alice In Wonderland shit. I mean what did the company expect me to do, just randomly fucking TRY SHIT until I million-monkey-typewritered into the correct button-press sequence? Unbelievable. Edit: Oh, and idk if this is normal for console fighting games, or maybe just NSW, but the fuckin thing feels laggy as hell. I’ve only played SF2 at the arcade, but compared to that, the input lag is palpable, and the square “track” of the joystick is AIDS to me.

[@tyronejohnsoniii539]

They still sell the dragon slay in the uk. I've just got a second hand one off CEX for £50. so this is going to be interesting

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

I remember buying a Mad Katz fight stick way back in my college day's for PS2, Xbox and PC and it lasted me for many years. I unfortunately don't have it anymore, but it lasted for about 10-12 years.

[@gerardosagastume7554]

Nice to see another fighstick video. Thanks bro

[@stainz_4208]

in my country the Mad Catz EGO is literally the only arcade stick available from local suppliers at the equivalent of 117 USD with free shipping. I might have snagged one of these if I hadn't already spent a fair bit of money importing a Mayflash F300 Elite. I'm happy with the F300 though. Used it in many online tournaments. Playing on PC so I don't really sweat the whole console controller plug-in issue.

[@JDemry]

Not to put you down the selling point is supposed to be able to play with one quality stick on several different consoles. I would like for you to do a multi system stick comparison.

[@pkphantom]

It's basically the Monoprice arcade stick. It's currently on sale for $106.

[@maxirodriguez8376]

Ok, maybe it is not as easy to open as other brands/models. And only for console players, you need to plug-in an official controller. But it has Senwa parts and it is as heavy as it is needed for table players or people that can actually feel confortable with that. It is also easy to add your own skin. I wouldn't say "Do not buy the Mad Catz EGO Stick". In my opinion I would just say that for a stick that has to be plugged into a console's controller to be "compatible", it is overpriced. But I don't think it is a bad stik. Just overpriced for being a mere clone that, as you said (and I completely agree), is using Mad Catz branding to make you feel it is the best one in market. Unfortunately in my country it is difficult to buy Qanba or Razer sticks, also you need patience to buy parts like the Brook's Universal Fighting Board, as they will take lots of shipping take time. This is quite a good option in these situations. But I understand you, for the price, it is really upsetting for console gaming. I hope I did understand correctly your review.

[@christianschoerner2188]

As long as it's working I don't see why this isn´t a good choice for an average gamer who has at least two of the three gaming systems. A mayflash needs to be modded and the other arcade sticks you mentioned are usually over 200 usd the one with Sanwa parts, plus you need an extra pcb board so it will most likely cost at around 100 usd or more then the Ego/Gamesir to get them to the same sales group. That struggle you had could happen even with a dual shock so it seems you´re missing the point with this stick unless they really are breaking apart/faulty which I can't find in this review.

[@julinyas]

This stick should be $100 at most like the Mayflash F500 Elite. I will say it's a nice looking case & has easy to change artwork. But I'm not a big fan of the control panel buttons. However it sucks that you need to plug in a controller

[@999samus7]

I remember when the announcement of Mad Catz coming back like 2 years ago, shortly after they announced their new product lines which were just all the lineups that actually sold and the R&D came from the old Mad Catz. I just saw the ad for this today on their FB page and once I saw that it was compatible with three of the current consoles, I knew it was just Chinese rebranded garbage at a premium price.

[@Ayyem93]

That shouldn't be indictive of garbage though, the Brook ufb is compatible with tons of consoles and it's great.

[@sentakuselect]

@@Ayyem93 Yes it is, the design isn't an original design, when arcade sticks claim to be compatible with other consoles, they shouldn't need to have a controller plugged into it. They're just using their old reputation for new garbage. No one should be charging $200+ for a rebadged item that doesn't do it's job out of the box. Brook Accessories is different, they products works and they're very honest and responsive. I know this because I bought 8 PS3/PS4 PCBs for my custom arcade cabinets and a couple more for my own stics.

[@hiiambarney4489]

So I had the Dragon Slay and tried to change the Face plate, checked the buttons (indeed Sanwa Denshi parts) and what I saw there was leaving me speechless. I know some of these Quick Connector Cramps can be tough to change but I had proper connection pliers for fine electrics and they had been a struggle. Mine where completely dented (not like they usually are down the center but horizontally, huge indents like someone tried to rip this out with a wire cutter) and one of the quick connects wasn't dented at all but looked like it was soldered on for some reason. (It wasn't solder, at least it didn't melt on my heating mat but looked like what you'd get if you did that). Needless to say, that one broke my Sanwa button while trying to remove it. Insta return and now I bought a Hori Fighting Edge, maybe that one fairs better, given my extremely limited choice of Pads I can buy off off my amazon.

[@esprithk]

Although, Mayflash and Brook are better known internationally, Gamesir is a well respected brand in China for gaming accessories. I use a Gamesir wired controller for my PS3, and I am currently using Gamesir VX AIMBOX for using keyboard & mouse on my Nintendo Switch, PS4, and XSX. By the way, always remember to update the firmware of any gaming hardware after unboxing it.

[@ERRandDEL]

Man, I definitely casually snagged one of these for guests to use just because I had some overtime cash lying around, and I knew right from the get-go that it was pretty suspect with how the thing was missing inputs on the joystick constantly or 'overshooting' my inputs to 7 and 9 all the time. Too bad I didn't see this sooner. Should've gone with my gut for a RapV or 4.

[@itsawinnerfereal]

from the start the lad hated everything about mad catz and GameSir. I like the way the lad almost throws up in his mouth just speaking about the subject. Hilarious

[@FenixPajarito]

Honestly even if thr stick did not come with Sanwa Buttons or lever you can still buy them separately it is not that they cost a lot!! Plus why everything has to be Sanwa? I know professionals that don't use sanwa and are top gamers in fighting games..

[@DragonHiss4]

Sanwa is ridiculously overrated. A short throw Sanwa stick is a great choice... On paper... For MANY, FIGHTING games. But, in practice, for ALL fighting games, not to mention platformers and shooters, a Seimitsu, Crown or IL (if it's your thing) solution feels infinitely better. They just have the highest market share because a few high profile machines use the parts, they've been around a while, and that name recognition alone sells people because it means "hey, it's not cheap Hori or Unbranded crap!"

[@kingjoe3rd]

I didn't find this review until after I ordered this fight stick and man do I wish I would have found it before. Thank goodness for Amazons good return policy. I tried syncing it with a PS4 controller at least a hundred times, and it only worked twice and only in the PS menu screen which it unsync'd after selecting a game both times. Firmware updates didn't work either. If you are only going to use it for PC and you find it for really cheap then I may say it's okay but only for like $60 or cheaper. You would be better off getting a Mayflash or something. Before I sent it back I took the thing apart to see how well it could be modded and if I could stick a Brook board in it, and it surprisingly has room for it, but the problem seems like it would be trying to get the top buttons (turbo, options, etc.) to work with the Brook setup. I haven't seen anyone try to mod one on KZbin, but hopefully someone will because the case is quite nice and large.

Mad catz was basically going out of business when they made the first sf4 stick and it was total trash and didn't even have sanwa parts, it being the only console stick saved it.

[@taegibs7798]

if someone bought it fore how would I get it to work on the switch bc it dosent work natively

[@neontetra1000]

So you don’t need a pad plugged in?. Just play it in legacy mode?.

[@HurtboxTV]

Yeah you can, but not every game supports it. And in legacy mode you lose TouchPad support. For what's on the same price point as most licensed sticks that's not that great.

[@Davilas941]

Is there any arcade stick coming for PS5? I want to get my first Fight Stick. XD

[@mandarinduck5507]

Official playstation 4 sticks will work for the ps5, so the playstation venom arcade is a great budget stick that will work for ps3,4 and 5

[@raohdensetsu]

dont want controllers attached? used magicboots problem solved

[@BVDsGoneFishing]

TE3 or GTFO.

[@Demonkingx5]

Here to watch that shit.

[@munem939]

Quick question: What is "Legacy Controller"? Are they better or worse than non-Legacy Controllers (or whatever the opposite counterpart is called). Also what's Legacy Mode?

[@pshanetju2598]

I think they’re referring to the godly fightsticks they used to make

[@shogunc7718]

Legacy controllers are controllers that were made for previous gen systems (like ps3 and 360). Some games let you use them by building in a "legacy mode" in the game. Not all games have that feature however

[@pshanetju2598]

Connecting the controller for legacy controls might be a good idea.

im looking to buy a new fight stick. My brook adapter just keeps giving me a "too many usb" error now and im not sure why. I've initialized and event initialized software so I've ruled out that it is corrupted files. I have two ps4's a regular and a pro and both do this. I have aa ps3 SF4 TE stick and want something of that quality or better. What would you recommend?

[@hostile-rx3198]

Just bought me a EGO I love it bro it's got faster response time then the crystal thanks bro

[@virusfm608]

Glad I found this, I will start by saying I didn’t by the mad Catz a friend did and then gave it to me. He didn’t even use it so it’s like new. But even when plugged into a controller mine does not seem to work with my ps4. It works fine plugged into my pc but my locals do console only 🙃

[@xabbit0508]

Anyone recommend an arcade stick for an xbox console?

[@RynellGT86]

Banggood stick or this.

[@AhopeGG]

should i get it for 40

[@HurtboxTV]

For 40 it's a good deal, it at least gives you room to gut it and replace parts.

[@AhopeGG]

@@HurtboxTV It was a auction it's been used 3 times so i just went for it! thanks for the help

[@WormyJester8]

They need to bring Mark back

[@TheScorpio1999]

Last I heard he went over to work for Victrix and their line of arcade sticks. As for this video and the subject matter, it caught me by surprise. I was starting to think these Madcatz "sticks" weren't being produced due to backlash, so it's interesting they're still peddling these knockoffs. Sad to see.

[@bahaajamal1909]

Your video could have been much shorter Good content but dude be faster even with x2 its too slow

[@hakanozyilmaz8861]

Is it ps5 compatible?

[@luissaavedra7058]

Es compatible al 100% con PS3 ???

[@tardwrangler]

So uuuuuuuuuuh what fightsticks are even good anymore?

[@Ayyem93]

I have a Razer Panthera Evo and an old Madcatz TE2 that are pretty solid.

[@AP101083]

@@Ayyem93 Panthera Evo is very descent but I do like the normal Panthera a bit more because of the official Sanwa buttons instead of Razor's micro switchers (sanwa clone buttons).

[@refugioflores2226]

any good arcade stick suggestion ? i want to play kof on pc

[@kapitantaryfa]

dragon slay to be honest with you. if you watch this video carefully, you'll see that it is a very good stick (good internals, thought through construction, easy to mod) that additionally will work with most consoles with no input lag.

[@xTheNameisEthan]

Damn I’ve had my tes+ since like 2016 and it’s been amazing, I was looking to get a new stick and I assumed mad catz would be the easy go to but ig not. Anyone have any better suggestions?

[@Blueinklingboy]

Razer has some good options with the Panthera/Atrox and Qanba is good with the Obsidian (or dragon if you're looking to spend for a premium stick). I personally use the Victrix Pro FX and its amazing with the features it has included (detatchable sanwa stick, easy modding capabilities, aircraft aluminum, supposedly the quickest legal response time etc.) I hope this helps!

[@nikhilbhavani981]

Qanba Pearl. It’s the epitome of reliability and the layout is a bit better than the obsidian. And it’s $200, so it’s pretty mid level in terms of arcade stick pricing.

[@LoserTry]

I bought it too only for the memes
